From a reader: I have a question; I was curious what you meant by “those still in the uncorrelated church.” Are there LDS churches not correlated? Thanks! My response: Ah yes, was wondering if someone would ask about that. Glad to know someone’s reading and thinking about my stuff. Tightly Structured Teaching The uncorrelated church (Google it) is a phrase made popular by John Dehlin a few years ago. It refers to the idea of a church being a body of believers, not necessarily a specific congregation, who are not too fond of the direction from Salt Lake that “you shall” present, study and discuss specific topics within tight constraints each Sunday in the block of meetings. They object to the idea of correlation as being a tactic or practice that kills the spirit because, the impression is, you are only allowed to bring up specific “approved” quotes and specific scriptures when discussing the assigned topic. The people who see the church as being too tightly correlated... Read the rest of this entry »

Oh, I’m not talking about you!!  The title of this blog has been my own motto for a few years now.  I don’t have a filter, sometimes, especially when it comes to blogging.  I tend to stick my foot in my mouth… like all the time!  On a good day, I usually get away with it… I think that’s why I have the readers that I do, because they think I am a bit crazy… but that’s okay! But when I am ornery, grumpy, and oh so hard to live with, I can get pretty nasty… and venting on my blog doesn’t help my case.  So I made a rule a few years back, that if I want to keep my friends, I need to NOT blog on those really bad days.  Then when it’s all over and I can laugh about it, THEN I can blog about it and put my positive twist on it. These last few weeks, have been real downers for me.  And I can count many reasons I have been in a peevish mood.  Should I share?  Okay, you talked... Read the rest of this entry »

I had not intended to write this review, but could not resist because the impression to share was so strong. I had intended to review chapter three of Passing the Heavenly Gift, but that can wait. I finished Proof of Heaven a week ago and did not feel the desire to review it as I do with this book. Proof of Heaven can stand on its own, already reviewed by many people. Visions of Glory has also been reviewed in several places, but the negative reviews are too dismissive for me. I’m not going to say my review is negative, and I am going to recommend you read it, but I’m going to offer a few words of warning. There’s just something strange about this book that I can’t put my finger on at the moment. Maybe by the time I finish the review it will be clearer. The negative reviews on Amazon and elsewhere declare that Spencer was deceived. I’m not going to go that far. I believe Spencer was sincere when he described what he said he saw. Visions of Glory combines two of my favorite topics... Read the rest of this entry »

Members of the Marysville Washington Stake are highly encouraged to adopt a family mission plan, read through and study the Preach My Gospel manual, and to prayerfully find ways to share the message of the Restoration to family, friends, neighbors and even strangers.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 88,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

… except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ … Galatians 6:14 The feebleness of the church is being criticized today, and the criticism is justified. One reason for the feebleness is that there has not been this focus on the true center of spiritual power. We have not dwelt enough on the tragedy [...]  Read More →

Far from being a crystalized set observance, Thanksgiving in America has been a holiday that has changed considerably from how it was initially celebrated. There have been obvious minor changes: sports events on TV rather than game hunting, turkey as the main course rather than venison, and the manifestation of the major parade sponsored by [...]  Read More →

Dr. Thomas J. Boud, MD published a recent article in the most recent issue - LDS Living – Why Am I Always Tired?.
